In January, the Star Wars Fanworks community voted for their favorite fan audio productions of 2009 in a variety of categories. SWITS was up for all the audio drama categories… and won them all. You can download and listen to the Fan Audio Award (FAA) show (spinoff#16) hosted this year by husband and wife, Andrew and Sarah Gilbertson along with the multitalented audio producer Joe Harrison.

I am blessed to have been surrounded by such talented people, that it made my project better than I expected. Thanks to all the people involved and congrats to the runners-up. Here are the categories SWITS was nominated for :

THIS IS IT! The last and climactic episode of Star Wars : In the Shadows is available! This finale includes a 22 minutes bonus of bloopers and outtakes from the production. Enjoy.

After meeting Xizor aboard his skyhook the Falleen Fist, our heroes made a deal with the prince; The Jedi in exchange for their freedom. Unfortunately for Xizor, he underestimated the young crew and fell for their well-crafted ploy. Aboard the Providence, Emma and her friends have reached the Tapani Sector, where they finally pinpoint the location of the secret Imperial base and request the help of the Rebel Alliance. Yet they are unaware that Guri has followed them and that Darth Vader is not far behind.

I would like to thank all the volunteer cast members for their talent and time, all the partners for their help in promoting the drama and anyone who help promote SWITS by word to mouth and via social networks. This audio drama was my first adventure in storytelling and without your support it would not have been possible. I hope you enjoyed the story and the production.
